At the largest Winter Paralympics ever, 567 athletes with physical disabilities from 48 countries and a neutral Paralympic athletes team composed of Russians are competing in six sports: alpine and cross-country skiing, biathlon, para ice hockey, snowboard, and wheelchair curling. So far, the United States (the nation most represented with 68 athletes) is leading in medals. The Winter Paralympic Games will continue until March 18.

Mike SchultzMike Schultz of St. Cloud, Minnesota, is a snowboarder who suffered a compound fracture of his left knee after veering off course and flying off his snowmobile during a snocross race ten years ago. After several surgeries, his leg was amputated above the knee. Wanting to continue playing action sports, Schultz created his own prosthetic knee, the Moto Knee, which consists of a mountain bike shock and a linkage system for which he has a patent. He then won a motocross adaptive silver medal at the X Games and began snowboarding. Schultz founded BioDapt, Inc., a sports prosthetic company for extreme sports athletes, in 2010. In the same year, he became the first person to win gold medals at the X Games and Winter X Games; he was also inducted into the Athletes with Disabilities Network Hall of Fame in the United States. Schultz will compete at the Winter Paralympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, next week. His fellow snowboarders use the Moto Knee as well as the Versa Foot. Schultz is married with one daughter.

Vujicic was born in 1982 in Melbourne, Australia, with no arms or legs due to tetra-amelia syndrome. He was depressed as a child because of bullying and loneliness. Inspired to share his life story, Vujicic began public speaking at age 17 and has traveled to more than 55 countries. He founded an Evangelistic ministry called Life Without Limbs in 2005 and the motivational speaking company Attitude is Altitude two years later.&nbsp;Vujicic lives with his wife and four young children in southern California to which he moved in 2007. He will be one of the guest speakers at the Better Man Event at Calvary Church Orlando in Winter Park on Saturday, March 3.

Mike AndrzejewskiOn last Thursday's episode of the Food Network's&nbsp;<i>Beat Bobby Flay</i>,&nbsp;Mike Andrzejewski of Buffalo, New York, beat Anthony Nelson, a chef from Washington, D.C., in a preliminary round involving shishito peppers. Then, Andrzejewski (the chef-owner of SeaBar and Cantina Loco) defeated Iron Chef Bobby Flay in a loco moco cook-off.&nbsp;(Loco moco is a dish that consists of beef, fried rice, eggs, and gravy served in a heap.) Andrzejewski's win against Flay is the latest achievement in his impressive career, which includes participation in the Taste of the NFL and perfect 10 ratings from food critics. Andrzejewski, who hosted a <i>Beat Bobby Flay</i> watch party at SeaBar, has a prosthetic left leg because he lost his leg in a motorcycle accident years ago. His accomplishments show a disability doesn't stop some people from achieving their goals.

However, there are other happenings on that day. Developmental Disabilities Awareness Day at the Capitol will take place from 8:30 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. (Developmental disabilities refer to specific conditions such as fetal alcohol syndrome, fragile X syndrome, and kernicterus.) Attendees can visit exhibitors, go to a press conference and a rally, have lunch in the Capitol Courtyard, and meet with legislators. For more information about developmental disabilities, go to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/developmentaldisabilities/index.html">https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/developmentaldisabilities/index.html</a>.<br /><br />February 14, 2018, is also the day registration for the 20th Annual Family Cafe opens on its website <a href="http://familycafe.net/">familycafe.net</a>. (Please refer to my post "Promoting My Life Story at the Family Cafe" from June 13, 2015, to read about my experience with this event). The conference features information, training, and networking opportunities as well as the Governor's Summit on Disabilities.

Accessibility of CruisesLast week, my parents, aunt, and uncle and I were on a Royal Caribbean cruise that started in Port Canaveral. Oasis of the Seas, the ship on which we sailed, is mostly handicap accessible. (For those of you who like to gamble, I was disappointed to see there is only one handicap accessible blackjack table in the ship's casino with a pricey $10 minimum bet per hand. So, I played a couple of slot machines, which are barely accessible to wheelchair users after the slot machine chair is removed). I saw other people in power chairs and scooters, but I left my power chair at home and used my manual wheelchair instead because I was unsure about accessibility at the ports of call. My parents and I stayed in an accessible stateroom (a little bigger than a non-accessible stateroom) with sufficient space for me to maneuver my wheelchair.<br /><br />Shortly after signing up for this cruise last summer, I stumbled upon a <i>Lonely Planet</i> article about accessibility in the Caribbean. The article, written by Ms. Wheelchair USA 2016 Sylvia Longmire, contains brief descriptions of two of the cruise's ports of call: Philipsburg, Sint Maarten (the Dutch western side of St. Martin) and San Juan, Puerto Rico. I was excited to go to these cities. Philipsburg is mainly flat with accessible sidewalks and entrances to restaurant and shops such as the Belgian Chocolate Box and Fudge House, where my dad and I picked up a few sweet treats before going back on our cruise ship. Cobblestones and steep streets make it challenging for wheelchair users to explore San Juan. However, wheelchair users can be transported in vans with lifts like Rico Sun Tours. If I had more than a few hours in San Juan, I would've utilized an accessible van service. My cruise's third port of call was Labadee, a private section of Haiti for Royal Caribbean cruisers. There is an accessible pathway to a pavilion by Dragon's Cafe where there is a beautiful view of the Caribbean Sea bordered by a beach with lightly colored sand.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=9174417304531295712" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>My overall positive experience in Philipsburg, San Juan, and San Juan shows Caribbean cruises are possible for people with physical disabilities.

VII is a Filipino-American attorney who is blind due to medical complications at birth. Cantos is known for being the highest-ranking person with a disability in the United States government. He served as Associate Director of the Domestic Policy Council at the White House for two terms under President George W. Bush. Cantos's most rewarding role was being a mentor to blind triplet boys whom he adopted. Nowadays, Cantos serves under President Donald Trump as Special Assistant to the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights at the Department of Education. He is also a motivational speaker. I had the pleasure of meeting Cantos when he was the keynote speaker at a Career Opportunities for Students with Disabilities (COSD) conference in Orlando in 2008.

A PGA Tour and The Players tournament-approved charity, JTTF has helped more than 275 families. Professional golfer Fred Funk is an emeritus member of the foundation's Board of Directors. Jerry "JT" Townsend, Jr., became paralyzed due to a spinal cord injury during a high school football game in 2004; he established JTTF six years later. Townsend unexpectedly passed away at age 26 shortly after graduating from the University of North Florida with a degree in Sports Management in 2013.

Parents are happy to see joy and courage in their children, who are encouraged to embrace what makes them unique. Robyn Rosenberger of Kirkwood, Missouri, started Tiny Superheroes five years ago this month. She has three young sons, one of whom was born about a year ago with vertical talus, a condition that results in a flat foot. Capes are sold in the St. Louis Children's Hospital gift shop; people can also go online and sponsor a cape to be sent to a child. More than 12,000 children all over the world have received capes.

With and Without Disabilities Build Tiny HouseDuring the past year, a group of students with and without disabilities at Bayside High School in Palm Bay designed and built a tiny house. The Able Trust, a foundation that helps Floridians with disabilities become employed, funded the unique construction project, which was part of Bayside's High School High Tech program. After being delayed by Hurricane Irma in September and the lead teacher's moving away, the house's unveiling took place at Bayside on December 21. The Able Trust will auction off the house to raise money for its programs. Building the tiny house was a valuable learning experience for the students. I was pleased to read about Bayside because I graduated from there in 2004.

SamplesSamples, a restaurant that serves comfort food and craft drinks in Longmont, Colorado, was featured on last night's episode of the Food Network's <i>Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives</i>. During the program, restaurant co-owner Mark Sample demonstrated to show host Guy Fieri how to make the Poutine Burger and the Korean BBQ Sandwich. Something else that makes Samples stand out is it employs people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This is because of Sample's wife Carmen, a social worker who noticed a lack of resources for these individuals. She also founded Sample Supports, a community-based social services agency that provides services like behavior therapy, supported living, and employment opportunities. If I ever find myself in Longmont, I'm going to go to Samples for a meal.

Shaquem GriffinHappy New Year, readers! Today's post is about a University of Central Florida (UCF) football player whose left hand was amputated when he was four years old.<br /><br />Shaquem Griffin, a linebacker, helped No. 12 UCF beat No. 7 Auburn University at the 50th annual Peach Bowl in Atlanta yesterday afternoon. Griffin was born with amniotic band syndrome (ABS), which caused the fingers on his left hand to hurt very much, leading to amputation. This didn't stop him from wanting to play football. Griffin was a safety for UCF four years ago but sat on the sidelines during games while his twin brother Shaquill (older by 60 seconds) played as a cornerback.<br /><br />Days before the Peach Bowl, Griffin met Jordan Davis, a 19-month-old boy with ABS, along with his twin brother John (also older by 60 seconds) and parents Matt and Amanda, who are Auburn fans but are inspired by Griffin's life story. Griffin received the Football Bowl Subdivision 2017 Senior CLASS Award for his outstanding work on the field, in the classroom, and in the community during the past two years. He doesn't consider his missing left hand a disability and would like to play in the National Football League like his twin brother.

Team Creates Accessible Video GameSome children ask for video games for Christmas. There is a video game for children without hands. Students from the University of Central Florida's School of Visual Arts &amp; Design worked with Limbitless Solutions to create an accessible video game called <i>Smash Bro</i>. <i>Smash Bro</i> and other games in the Limbitless Training Games series use electromyography (EMG) board technology. An EMG board is attached to one's forearm with conductive pads for the measurement of electric impulses while flexing muscles. In early August, UCF's game design students and their professors went to the Smithsonian American Art Museum where they had a demonstration of <i>Smash Bro</i> and talked with White House staff about accessibility technology. Children who received bionic arms from Limbitless Solutions tried out the video games and gave positive reviews in September. On December 1, Limbitless Training Games won the Best Serious Game Innovation Award during the Serious Games Showcase &amp; Challenge at the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference in Orlando.

AccomableMany people travel for the holidays. One resource for travelers with disabilities is Accomable, a London-based company that provides information about handicap accessible lodging in several countries. Srin Madipalli and Martyn Sibley, childhood friends with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, founded Accomable in 2015. Last month, the online hospitality service Airbnb bought the company. Accomable will assist users during the transitional period.

A three-time <i>Chopped</i> winner, Greenberg donated his winnings to the Mowat-Wilson Syndrome (MWS) Foundation of which his sister Katie Fineberg is a director (Katie's daughter Zoe has the disorder). MWS is a genetic condition with several characteristics, including distinctive facial features, moderate or severe intellectual disability, delayed development of motor skills, and Hirschsprung disease (an intestinal disorder). Other issues associated with this disorder are speech problems, seizures, and heart defects. People with MWS in general have a smiling, open-mouthed expression on their faces along with cheerful personalities.

Two days ago, Queen of Hearts (based in Palm Bay) hosted the Freedom Wheels Festival 2017 at the Sarno Plaza in Melbourne. There were food trucks, vendors, a silent auction, and live entertainment from 10:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. The proceeds are going to the purchase of handicap accessible vans for families of wheelchair users. Country Bingo, Bicsi Cares, and the Florida Bankers Association are sponsors of Queen of Hearts.

Set in Manhattan, New York, <i>Wonder</i> is about a boy named August "Auggie" Pullman, who has mandibulofacial dysostosis, also known as Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS). Occurring in approximately one in 50,000 people, TCS is a genetic disorder in which the ears, eyes, cheekbones, and chin are deformed. Children with severe cases of TCS have breathing problems, difficulty seeing, a cleft palate, and/or hearing loss, but they are of normal intelligence. They can manage symptoms with reconstructive surgery, speech therapy, and hearing aids and other assistive devices. Life expectancy for those with TCS is normal in general. For more information about TCS, go to <a href="https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/946143-overview">https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/946143-overview</a>.<br /><br />Based on R.J. Palacio's 2012 novel of the same name, <i>Wonder</i> (starring Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson, and Jacob Tremblay as Auggie) takes us through Auggie's first year of physically going to school; he had been home-schooled prior to the fifth grade due to recovering from 27 surgeries. At first, Auggie has trouble fitting in, but he eventually makes friends and does well with his studies. By the end of the school year, he feels accepted by his classmates. <i>Wonder</i> is a wonderful family movie that reminds us to overcome our challenges and to be kind to everyone.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Image may contain: 2 people, people smiling, people sitting, stripes, child and screen" class="spotlight" height="200" src="https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/23795337_10155126842604033_5783868030051364876_n.jpg?oh=6c6d6a4c277a0f84215a6db77fd61c88&amp;oe=5AA2AA9E" width="149" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div>Ashley McGrathhttps://plus.google.com/115016873363617177720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174417304531295712.post-11138320987396663092017-11-20T12:54:00.001-08:002017-11-20T12:54:04.934-08:00Our Pride AcademyOne of the four contestants on last Tuesday's episode of the Food Network's cooking competition <i>Chopped</i> competed for Our Pride Academy (OPA) in Miami as his charity of choice. OPA, a non-profit organization, is a school for children aged three to adult with developmental disabilities. According to the school's Web site, OPA's goal is "to teach essential academic and daily living skills that will empower students to live independent and fulfilling lives." The teachers achieve this goal by using proven research-based techniques. OPA accepts donations, and the proceeds from the All Fore the Kids Second Annual Golf Tournament in Doral near Miami on Saturday, December 2, will go to OPA.

On October 30, Army Maj. Jeremy Haynes was the guest speaker at a National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) event sponsored by the Multicultural Committee at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC) in Bethesda, Maryland. He became paralyzed from the waist down after being shot four times while serving as an assistant to Army Maj. Gen. Harold J. Greene, who died in the attack in Kabul, Afghanistan, on August 5, 2014. (Maj. Gen. Greene is the highest ranking American officer to die in combat in the Global War on Terrorism.) Beating the odds, Maj. Haynes was able to stand again three months later and now can walk a few steps with a cane, thanks to medical professionals at WRNMMC to which he was transferred after initial treatment at a medical center in Germany. Regarding NDEAM, he told his audience that people with disabilities want an opportunity to show their capabilities.

On October 24, an ambulance was taking Hernandez (accompanied by an adult cousin who is a US citizen) to the hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas, when it was stopped at a Border Patrol checkpoint. Originally from Mexico, Hernandez arrived in the United States when she was three months old, so she is technically an undocumented immigrant. Hernandez and her cousin were escorted to the hospital where she had emergency gallbladder surgery before she was discharged into US Customs and Border Protection custody. Although she has reunited with her mother, it's possible Hernandez will be deported. This case is something to be considered in immigration debates.

This makes a person's head larger than normal. The most common treatment for hydrocephalus is implanting a shunt, a tube that transfers some CSF from the brain to another part of the body. I was born with hydrocephalus, but fortunately, it corrected itself quickly, so I didn't need a shunt. Last Saturday, the 2017 Orlando Walk to End Hydrocephalus took place at Dr. P. Phillips Community Park. The Walk raised over $19,000, which will go toward research, education, advocacy, and community support networks.

Casino Hosts Poker Tournament for the DeafA month ago, Hollywood Casino Toledo hosted the Ohio Deaf Poker Championship, which consisted of two tournaments. After being asked to do so by regular players who are deaf, the casino held its first poker tournament for people with hearing impairments on March 11. Communicating through sign language, the players were appreciative of the opportunity to participate in a poker tournament tailored to them. There are very few poker tournaments held for deaf people in the United States. The Ohio Deaf Poker Championship is a friendly poker event that makes the deaf players comfortable. As a recreational poker player, I appreciate Hollywood Casino Toledo's efforts at inclusion.

The SSN-based Health Insurance Claim Number will be replaced with a Medicare Beneficiary Identifier. This change is being made in an effort to prevent medical identity theft of recipients. The new cards will be sent in April 2018. You may have recently seen a commercial about the new Medicare cards.

Companies that scored 100% on a set of criteria include AMC Theatres, ManpowerGroup, and Walmart. I can see why they received such high scores, for I have friends with disabilities who work at AMC Theatres and Walmart. I went to ManpowerGroup when I was looking for a job four years ago. Other companies that scored high on the DEI are MetLife and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. My parents bought insurance from MetLife. Whenever we go on a cruise, it's with Royal Caribbean. This is the third year the DEI was conducted.
